Built in 1940 and thoughtfully remodeled and expanded , this 5 bedroom farmhouse sits on 5.45 acres in the North Carolina mountains, the kind of property equestrians and small farm owners look for and rarely find. A wraparound porch takes in long range mountain views from nearly every angle, overlooking the pasture below. Inside, the main level was clearly built for gathering. The kitchen, with its breakfast bar and center island, opens into connected dining and family rooms, making it easy to move between cooking, conversation, and company. Two fireplaces add warmth to the living spaces, and the primary bedroom is tucked away on this level with its own ensuite bath. Step outside from nearly any room and you land on a covered deck or porch, each one framing a different view of the pasture, barn, and hills beyond. Upstairs, the home splits into two separate wings, each with two bedrooms and a full bath. It is a layout that adapts easily, whether that means housing visiting family, giving teenagers their own space, or setting up a quiet wing for working from home. For the horse owner, the barn is where this property truly stands apart. The 4-stall barn has stall access from both the inside and outside, a dedicated feed and tack room to keep equipment organized and close at hand. A hayloft provides ample storage above, and drive up access makes loading and unloading hay simple and efficient. The fenced pasture surrounding the barn gives horses and other farm animals room to roam, with a stream running through the acreage that offers a natural water source. Together, the barn and grounds give this small farm real equestrian functionality, with plenty of room left over for chickens, goats, or homesteading of any kind. The detached 3-bay garage provides additional storage, with ceiling height and floor space for equipment, feed, or trailers, and additional gravel parking to accommodate trucks and horse trailers. For the equestrian or small farm buyer, this property offers a barn, pasture, water, and ample space to run a working farm, all within a "sprawling" mountain home

Rare 10-acre commercial opportunity offering exceptional flexibility for an investor, business owner, or developer. The property is comprised of 6 individual parcels, giving a buyer the option to operate the site as a whole, sell off parcels individually, or explore future subdivision for residential or commercial development. The land is flat and easy to work with throughout, making it well-suited for equipment operations, storage, staging, or new construction. Location is a major asset — the property is bordered by two main roads, one on each side, and sits just off the interstate, providing quick and easy access for trucks, heavy equipment, deliveries, and customer traffic alike. This kind of access is difficult to find and adds significant value for any commercial or industrial use. The property was formerly operated as a stump grinding facility for Evergreen Park, and the seller is including the on-site truck scale in the sale — a major advantage for a buyer looking to step directly into a stump dump, wood recycling, mulch production, or land-clearing debris operation without the added expense of purchasing and installing a scale system. The site is already set up for heavy vehicle traffic and material processing. Utilities are already in place with both city water and sewer available, along with a private septic system and well also on-site, giving a buyer flexibility depending on intended use. Improvements on the property include a 3-bay garage, ideal for equipment storage, a fleet of vehicles, or maintenance work; a large outdoor storage building suited for materials, inventory, or equipment; an older barn offering additional storage or workshop space; and a single-family house that is partially renovated. The home offers a great opportunity for a buyer to finish the renovation to their own specifications, whether for use as an on-site residence, office space, or rental income. With the truck scale, multiple outbuildings, dual utility access, flat usable acreage, and prime road/interstate frontage, this property is a rare turn-key opportunity for continued commercial use or future redevelopment. Six separate parcels also allow a buyer to structure a purchase or future resale in whatever way best suits their goals. Zoning information, parcel breakdowns, and additional details are available upon request. Serious inquiries welcome — schedule your private showing today to see the full potential of this unique offering.
